Minnesota is a beautiful place, but I’d like to see what the rest of the country looks like too! How about you?
With four young boys in tow – we don’t get to see as much of the world as we’d like to. However, at Mall of America, you can see the most beautiful parts of the U.S. when you experience FlyOver America.
Our family of six visited this attraction during Christmas vacation and we LOVED it! It was an incredibly unique way for all of us to see parts of our great country that we have not seen before.
Each picture on this wall is a location that you fly over during your ride!
It’s a 4D/Virtual reality ride that makes you feel like your soaring through the open air (yet seated) with a giant screen and 180 degree views! The seats move up and down and sway to the side.
When you fly over the pine trees, you feel the wind in your face and SMELL PINE!
When you fly over the ocean towards Hawaii – you get spritzed with WATER!
During the holiday season, your trip also takes you to the North Pole. If you have children, visiting in November and December will be extra fun because there are “elves” that pop up throughout your travels. My boys got excited when they’d spot an elf. If the adventure wasn’t entertaining enough, adding silly elves certainly keeps kids engaged!
Here’s what I heard from my boys as we walked out of the FlyOver attraction:
George, Age 12: It was really cool! It gave me good memories.
Clark, Age 10: That was so good! I liked the blowing wind, smelling stuff, and splashes of water.
Paul, Age 8: I liked finding the elves and seeing them do funny things.
Luke, Age 5: That was SO fun! Can we do it again?!

If you aren’t familiar with it, the Elf comes each Christmas season to hang out and watch to see if your children should be on the “naughty” or “nice” list. He flies to the North Pole at night to report to Santa how your children are doing. He comes back each morning and hides in a different place in your home.
After my boys go to bed at night, I find a place to hide our Elf. I used to have to set a reminder on my phone so I didn’t forget. Thankfully, I now have helpers named George and Clark, who love to stay up and find creative things for the Elf to do!
I am not a HUGE fan of the Elf, but my kids love it so much I can’t stop. My older boys get excited about finding creative things for the Elf to do, and my younger boys are excited to wake up in the morning and search the house to find our Elf.
If you are new to this tradition, I would recommend you start just ONE WEEK before Christmas and use the SIMPLE ideas listed below.
Our elf now comes on December 1 because I have helpers to hide him.
Here are some ideas for your Elf on the Shelf Tradition!
1. Place him in a large Mason Jar with a note that says, “Show me around!”
2. Choo Choo Train Ride
3. Or a SHOE SHOE Train Ride!
4. Playing card games
5. Leave a love note
6. Just Hangin’ Out
7. Candy Cane Hide-and-Seek
Hide candy canes around the house!
8. Make happy faces on the fruit
9. Countdown-to-Christmas Paper Chain
10. Elf is peeking out of your child’s stocking
Optional: Leave a note to your child about what the Elf has noticed: A Good Thing and Something your child could work on.
11. Put him in your Christmas tree by his favorite ornament
12. Hide him inside cups.
Children have to search the cups to find him. My kids were happy he was in a cup so they could hold the cup and walk around with him. (No touching the Elf)
13. Reading a Christmas story to his friend.
14. 3 cheers for hot chocolate!
Optional: Leave hot chocolate out for your kids!
15. Just Chillin’
Just wrap a scarf around a picture or chair and put the elf inside!
16. Army men are protecting our home and they think the Elf is an INTRUDER!
I just taped that poor Elf to the wall.
17. Zip lining
This takes a little more work, but it’s always a favorite. Tie a string across a room and attach your elf to the string. Zip Line!
These were just some simple and silly ideas for you! Do you have a fun Elf prank? Leave a comment!
Because the kids were out of school, it was a little bit crowded. However, there are SO many different activities to do inside, it never felt “OVERLY” crowded.
I honestly wasn’t sure how my four boys (ages 5 to 12) would do at the Crayola Experience. They aren’t really into ‘crafting’ and ‘coloring.’ However, I was surprised by how much fun we all had. It was actually ‘soul-filling’ to spend the day creating, painting, crafting and coloring. Bonus – there was no prep work or clean up involved!
Here are some of our favorite things from the day:
Crayons with our own names! Creating coloring pages of ourselves!!
Each of us got modeling dough. I forgot how relaxing it is to be creative with play dough.
George working on his Silly Selfie
George’s Silly Selfie
We created our own puzzles!
Wax painting
The boys loved decorating a paper car – then seeing it come to life on the big screen!
Clark’s car
Clark created, then watched his car come to life!
A crayon “mimicking” Luke’s movement
Paul playing!
All the boys enjoyed the 2-story playground. If I had season passes, I’d let them play and burn some energy every time we came to the mall.
We took a break to go eat at Chick Fil A in the food court, but since our passes were good all day, we came back to continue our fun.
We watched a live show about how crayons are made, painted with watercolors, created creatures that “danced,” colored mini ‘pets’ that we got to bring home…and more!
At first I thought the admission price was a little high. However, once we had the “Crayola Experience,” the price seemed fair. The admission price includes all of the activities and stations, the play area, the live show, the ‘mini-pet,’ a crayon that you create, and modeling dough.
With a season pass, you can stop in any time for an entire year to create and play. It also includes other perks as well, which you can read about by clicking here.
Parking Tips:
Parking is free at Mall of America. I recommend parking in the EAST lot. Take a picture of your spot so that you can find your car at the end of the busy day!
Another tip: Because the mall is so big, it’s easy to forget which door you entered. When I walk into the mall, I take a picture of the first store I see. When it’s time to leave at the end of the day, I use the mall directory to find the quickest way back to that store, which will lead me to where I parked!
To celebrate her birthday, my sister Haili rented a house in Florida and asked if we’d come to celebrate with her!
Um…YEAH!
In June, I was in Florida for my cousin’s wedding. It was the first time I’d been back there in TWELVE years – George was in my tummy! As I was sitting on the beach in June, I imagined how much fun my boys would have if they could visit this beautiful place. I could see them splashing in the waves, laughing, playing, and making forever memories. I said a little prayer that we’d somehow, sometime soon, have an opportunity to bring them back here.
And three months later….my prayer was answered!
Next stop…Florida!
We arrived at the Panama City airport Tuesday night, but my checked bag was not so lucky. American Airlines said it wouldn’t be delivered until the next night. The bag contained ALL of our swim stuff. For our FIRST EVER family beach day, my boys didn’t have their swim trunks and I didn’t have a swimsuit. We also didn’t have sunblock, our beach towels, or life jackets.
Thankfully, boys were able to swim in their regular shorts, and Haili let me borrow a swimsuit and her beach supplies. (Thank you Haili!)

Super cute suit that Haili let me borrow!
First splash
First glimpse at the ocean
I had never been to the northwest part of Florida, and was surprised how beautiful it was – especially Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and the entire 30A area.
Cutest little coffee shop on Alys Beach
As we walked out to the beach on our first morning in Florida, my boys could not believe how BIG the ocean was. They’d never seen a body of water that went as far as the eye could see. They ran immediately to splash in the waves – and were surprised that it was SALTWATER. (I forgot to mention that).
What a JOY it was to watch my dream and prayer come true – the kids were laughing, playing, splashing and having SO MUCH fun. I got to catch up with my sister, and step-mom…the boys had so much fun playing with their cousins…it was perfect.
Clark and his cousin Elle
I love how the 11 of us could spend hours at the beach and never get bored.
Each afternoon, we’d come in for lunch. The little kids would rest, and a few of us would take a walk. We loved discovering the unique wildlife and plant life in Florida.
Elle and Henry
On a nature walk
Each evening, we’d all go back to the beach to play and watch the sunset.
We ate most meals at home, but one night we went out and had a fabulous dinner at a placed called “George’s” to celebrate Haili’s 40th birthday.
As we were going to bed on our last night, I received a text that our flight the next morning had been canceled. We called American Airlines and were on hold for TWO solid hours, then on with an agent for another hour as she figured out how to get us home – the only option was staying another 24 hours.
Screen shot of my 3 hour+ phone call
Obviously disappointed to stay another day in Florida
Luke and Paul
My sister and step-mom’s Delta flight was NOT canceled, and they flew home. So, Ted and I, and our boys, found a great price at a Hampton Inn, directly on Panama City Beach, and spent our last day there. It was a sweet way to end the trip — bonding with my boys on the beach!
Panama City Beach
I asked everyone what they loved and will remember most about this trip. Here are their answers:
George said, “Seeing the ocean for the first time. Also, cousins and big waves!”
George and mom
George and dad
Clark LOVED playing on the skimboard and pushing/pulling his brothers and cousins on it. Clark said his favorite parts of the trip were, “Cousins and water!”
Paul spent nearly the entire time looking for creatures – he found fish, lizards, crabs and jellyfish. Paul told me his favorite part of Florida was “catching stuff!”
Luke enjoyed building sand castles and playing in the waves. Luke told me his favorite part of Florida was playing with his cousins and being in the water.
Luke built this “castle” and stuck a feather in the top
Ted loved being with family, playing with the kids on the beach, and crab hunting.
I loved being with family – eating meals together, taking walks, playing in the ocean together, and the gorgeous sunsets every night made the perfect end to each day.
Our last dinner together in Panama City – Diego’s burritos
I’m fascinated at how God creates a beautifully unique sky every. single. night. The gifts He gives in nature are phenomenal. They are SO un-necessary, and often un-appreciated, but breathtaking and spectacular. I’d be sitting on the beach watching the sunset and wondering why every person in Florida wasn’t sitting with me. It’s one of the most magnificent sights I’ve ever seen.
Ted
Luke
I’m SOOOO incredibly grateful for Haili renting the house and inviting us to come. I’m grateful that Ted took time off work so that we could take this trip together. I’m grateful for answered prayer. I’m grateful for the beauty in Florida and for time with family!

Thanks to my sister Haili for making this trip a reality

Summer is for making memories! Here’s the highlights:
A visit from Mom
Grandma came for her first summer visit in Minnesota! We got to spend a few awesome days together, which included knocking an item off the Minnesota Bucket List – a visit to Mill City Museum (click here to read about it). Then she graciously watched ALL FOUR boys so I could go to Florida for my second favorite memory of the summer…
My Cousin’s wedding in Florida
I spent four wonderful days with family in Sarasota, Florida to celebrate the wedding of my cousin (who’s like a little sister to me). My uncle rented a big house that used to belong to Flavor Flav and I spent 3 nights with family there – and one night with my sister on Long Boat Key. It’s the first time I’ve been back to Florida in SO long and forgot how much I love it there.
Me and my sister, Krista
View from Flavor Flav’s former house
There’s something soul-healing about walking on the beach, soaking in some sun, and playing in the waves.
My cousin’s wedding was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and I’m grateful I could be there!
A Unique Birthday
Dropping off diapers and wipes at a Pregnancy Center
Hiding Dollars at the Dollar Tree
Ended my birthday with burgers at B-52
I learned how not to dread turning a year older – make it about OTHERS! This year my boys and I researched ways to give back to our community. On my birthday, we spent the day making a difference!
My baby sister’s wedding in Oklahoma
Another whirlwind weekend with family in another part of the country. I loved spending time with family, celebrating Brooke and her new husband, Jeff!
She had the sweetest wedding, surrounded by big trees, on a beautiful lake.

Fourth of July in Indiana
Shipshewana
Rise and Roll Donuts
An annual tradition – me and my sister with all of our kids
We spent several days with our Indiana family – boating, tubing, fishing on the Lake. We also explored Amish country in Shipshewana, Indiana.
On our way home from Indiana, we stopped for an…
Adventures in Illinois
We visited two places I love… Bien Trucha for the world’s best tacos and…
Blackberry Farm – A fun spot we’ve been visiting since the boys were babies!
We came back home to spend the rest of the summer at home. Some of the highlights for July and August are…
Exploring the Twin Cities
We went fishing, explored parks and beautiful spots around the Twin Cities.
Como Zoo and Conservatory
Egly Burger Challenge
BURGER CHALLENGE STOP #5
We are on the hunt for the best burgers in the Twin Cities. This summer we tried FIVE different burgers places. When we finish, I’ll blog about what we discovered!
Mall of America
Co-producers
Apple Camp
Lego store fun
Log Ride
We love having Mall of America just a few minutes away. George and Clark did a free video editing camp at the Apple Store and all four boys tried their first roller coaster.
Back-to-School Ice cream party
We texted our neighbors, set out ice cream and toppings and 30+ people showed up in our front yard for a back-to-school ice cream party. Super easy and fun for everybody! I wish I would have snapped a picture of the crowd gathered in our front yard – but I didn’t, and it is one of the sweetest memories of the summer.
The Minnesota State Fair
THE GIANT SLIDE
I was going to skip the fair this year, but a friend gave me four free tickets so I took Clark, his friend Sam, and Luke.
We tried some new foods, rode the Giant Slide, enjoyed the Fair from up above on a ski-lift type ride called the Sky Glider and played some games. It was the last thing we did before school started and Clark called it his “favorite thing” all summer…well, “and cousins.”
The Difference a Year Makes
Sisterhood
One year ago, I attended a ladies night (Sisterhood) at our church alone. I sat by myself and chatted with complete strangers. This year I came with this group of phenomenal women.
I’m shocked at what a difference a year can make. Last summer we did some grieving and moving – this summer was filled with friends and happy memories.
It’s been fun to go back and reflect on the summer and see the generosity of friendship, the beauty of nature, and the Goodness of God in all of it.
Thanks for joining me on the summer road trip down memory lane.

Today I had father-son time with my oldest, George, who is going into middle school next week. I used our time together not only to have fun at the Mall of America, but also started a tradition with my boys who are going into middle school (and in a few years, high school). I was able to capitalize on this transition as an opportunity to invest in him, and talk about leadership and many other topics.
During lunch I shared (or re-shared) with him:
* Picking quality friends. We become like those we surround ourselves with, for better or for worse
* The power of a growth mindset (Instead of “I can’t”… “I can’t, YET”)
* The value of integrity
* The importance of kindness
* Going first (e.g. saying hi…first; smiling first; encouraging first)
* That his mom and I are always here for him (during good and bad times)
* The power of courage and taking action when you are afraid. Action cures fear.
At one point I teared up during our time (I know…I know…a little sappy), realizing I have the wonderful privilege to father him and his brothers.
Cheers to a great year, George!
Ted Egly is my awesome husband and father to our four cowboys. He loves good books and adventure races. He does Executive Development for Target.
I’ve been so busy ENJOYING summer that I haven’t stopped long enough write about it.
If we are friends on Instagram or facebook – you get a glimpse into our lives…but this week I took a break from social media, so I suddenly had the urge to write down what we’ve been up to!
Sunday Funday:
We went to church in the morning. In the evening, Ted and I went to the adorable town of Wayzata. We had an amazing dinner at Gianni’s Steakhouse. We looked at each other in disbelief that we’ve lived here over a YEAR and haven’t yet explored this delightful little town – right on Lake Minnetonka!
The water is my #happyplace
Our family is doing a Twin Cities Burger Challenge. We are trying top ten Burger joints (according to the Minnesota Monthly Magazine) to determine which restaurant in the Twin Cities has the best burger. We decided to visit Gianni’s by ourselves because it’s a little fancy and better for date night. You can follow me on instagram for updates on “finding the best burger #eglychallenge.”
I’ll also write our thoughts on the best burgers when we finish the challenge, as well as how we thought they ranked in the following categories:
Kid-Friendly,
Price,
Ambiance, and of course,
TASTE!
Burger Challenge
Gianni’s Steakhouse was stop #3 on our Burger Challenge. It was DELICIOUS, with a fabulous patio right on Lake Minnetonka.
Monday at the Mall
#georgewilliam and #clarkwayne discussing their movie
I signed George and Clark up for Apple Camp on Movie Creating and Editing. If you have an Apple store in your area, click on this link – the camps are FREE and lots of fun! Here’s a short movie the boys created (no sound):
We met some friends at the movie theater to watch The Lion King. We loved it. It’s almost identical to the original cartoon, but the real animals make it better!
PS – Tuesdays at our theater is DISCOUNT day. Tickets are reduced and popcorn is FREE. Check your local theater to see if you have a “Discount Day.”
Wandering Wednesday…
We were back at Mall of America for Day 2 of Apple Camp. The boys created another movie. Here is George’s short film:
After camp, I let the boys choose a ride at Nickelodeon Universe. Clark, Paul, and Luke wanted to go on their first BIG KID roller coaster. Luke was an inch too short and CRIED that he couldn’t ride with his brothers. Clark and Paul LOVED it though!
Thoughts on Thursday …
Thursday we went to our local library. It’s been closed for renovations and we were so happy to have it re-opened.
The big boys also have Sports Camp every Thursday. They’ve had an awesome coach and really enjoyed it.
TGI Friday…
The boys went to their final class at The Apple Store. Then we spent some time fishing and playing at the lake with friends.
Orchard Lake
Saturday Adventures…
We went back to Wayzata to let the kids play at the beach on Lake Minnetonka.

Ted tossing a football with the boys
We are kind of spoiled with all the pool swimming we do, so the kids and I don’t love swimming with all the rocks and muck at the bottom of the lake. We left after a couple of hours and went to the pool to swim.
First, though, we picked up burgers at Lions Tap Family Restaurant to try their “Famous Burgers” in our #eglychallenge. (Stop #4 of 10) Lions Tap is a hole in the wall place, but the boys and Ted LOVED their simple burgers.
That’s a peek into our week!
Leave me a comment to tell me about your week.

Getting things done around the house is a dilemma for EVERY parent. It’s especially challenging for those of us who are (ahem)…messy.
From the time my oldest son George could walk and hold a broom, I started having him help around the house. He was DELIGHTED to help me when he was a toddler. However, the DELIGHT soon wore off and he’s no longer excited about holding a broom.
Sometimes, I’ve wondered if it’s really worth giving my kids chores because of the CHALLENGES that come with asking my kids to help.
Challenges with kids doing chores:
It can leave me with a a bigger mess,
It takes more time than if I just did it myself,
It usually involves some whining, crying, and complaining about how HARD life is because of ALL.THE.WORK.
However, when I step back and re-evaluate, I know that the benefits FAR outweigh the challenges.
Benefits for kids doing chores:
Children learn how to contribute to the family,
They learn how to keep things tidy
Their future spouse will THANK YOU,
They learn that they can do HARD things – which builds their self-esteem,
Chores help them mature,
Doing something with their hands releases feel-good chemicals in their brain that protect against depression.
Many studies show that kids who help at home are more confident, compassionate, resilient, and grow up to be more successful!
Chores are one of the best mediums we have for teaching kids about being part of a family, and about belonging, significance, and teamwork.
Lynn Lott
You aren’t just giving your kids CHORES, you are teaching them LIFE SKILLS – things they benefit from the rest of their lives!
How you keep track of chores is up to you. There are chore charts of every size and every price available online … and I’ve tried several of them!
Here’s a simple chore system that’s working for us this summer.
Find one container for every child in your family.
Write your child’s name on the container.
Take several clothes pins and write 1 chore on each one.
Clip the chores your children need to do on their cup
When your child has completed the chore, they can put their pin in the cup.
I didn’t come up with this system, it’s just one I found on Pinterest!
My sister started this simple system, and then sent me this picture of her girls (ages 4 and 7) cleaning their bathroom!
She said, “My girls love this visual and tactile system.” They see what they need to do, then get to put their clips in the cup when they are done!
When my boys ask to do something, I can just look to see if there are clips on their cups, and I say: “As soon as your chores are done, sure!”
Here are some ideas of chores your kids can do:
Do you have a system that’s worked for you? Leave a comment and share it with us.
And to everyone reading – Best wishes for you getting things done in YOUR house!
Today marks ONE YEAR of living in Minnesota. I knew nothing about this state except that it gets really, really cold. However, in spite of the cold, we still really, really like this place!
So far I’ve crossed nine items off my TOP 25 Minnesota Bucket List. I now want to add AT LEAST 50 more things to that list. I’m truly surprised at how much there is to do and see in Minnesota!
This morning, the 3 big boys and I went to breakfast and talked about the things we’ve loved most, the things that have been hardest, and the moments we remember most.
What we love most about Minnesota:
The people who have welcomed us! We also enjoy living close to the Mall of America. They boys could fish every day – so living in the Land of 10,000 Lakes comes in pretty handy! George’s favorite restaurant is Portillos and he was thrilled to find it here. Ted is thriving in his role at Target. I’ve enjoyed exploring a new state and discovering all the beauty and history here. We are also thankful for our new church.
Moments we remember:
Our neighbors intentionally stopping by to say hello and new friends inviting us into their homes or onto their porch for a drink.
The hard part:
Moving is hard too. The hardest was saying goodbye to beautiful Colorado Springs, our amazing friends and a church we loved. Clark said, “I miss walking into church where everyone knows my name.” (He and I are the SAME. We love to know and be known.)
I’m thankful to have discovered that Minnesota NICE is a real thing. I’m grateful for this journey with Ted, and the brave and courageous #eglyboys. Living a life of an adventure with them is more than I could ever ask for!
It was our first day of Summer Vacation and time to check something off our Minnesota Bucket list with a visit to the Mill City Museum. Imagine stepping into a museum that was once a bustling flour factory. The Mill City Museum in St. Paul was once the site of the General Mills (aka Cheerios) factory that was devastated by a flour explosion. The Minnesota Historical Society put the ruins to good use by creating a beautiful museum that shows the history of the flour industry in Minnesota, as well as how flour is turned into food.
I read beforehand that the museum doesn’t have their own parking. Thankfully, we found a place to park right outside the museum and the cost was only $1 per hour. There was also a parking garage right across the street, so finding a place to park wasn’t a problem.
From the moment we walked into the building, I was impressed with how nicely this historical building has been maintained.
First, we explored an old box car that was originally used to transport the flour all over the country. The original railroad track is still there.
.
Next, we walked around the museum that was filled with hands-on exhibits. My boys LOVED the ‘water room’ where they could rebuild the city of Minneapolis and create a ‘log jam.’
.
.
Be sure to check out the museum’s demonstration kitchen – if you are lucky, you may get to enjoy a freshly made Betty Crocker treat. My boys loved the ‘snacks’ they were served.
.
For an immersive experience, be sure to check out the ‘Flour Tower’ exhibit, where you’ll be transported back in time and experience what it was like to work in the factory. This exhibit is a large elevator with seating inside. The elevator takes you up, stops at each level, opens up the doors, and shows you a glimpse into that level of the factory. There’s a video in the background with old footage, and voice recordings of men and women who used to work in the original factory. It was fascinating to hear the voice recordings of former workers sharing their memories and stories.
.
Inside the freight elevator
.
From the elevator, we went to the observation deck to take in the beautiful view of Minneapolis, the Stone Arch bridge and the Mississippi River. The Stone arch bridge was originally a train bridge, but is now a pedestrian walkway.
.
From the observation deck at Mill City Museum
.
After that, we went to view the 19 minute video, “History of Minnesota.” As someone new to Minnesota, the movie was informative and interesting!
.
The Remains of the inside of the General Mills FactoryThis mill was erected in the year 1879 on the site of Washburn Mill which was totally destroyed on the 2nd day of May 1878, by fire and a terrific explosion occasioned by the rapid combustion of flour dust. Not one stone was left upon another and every person engaged in the building instantly lost his life. The following are the names of the faithful and well tried employees who fell victim of the awful calamity. E. Burbank, C Weing, E Grandman H Hicks, C Penning, P Judd, C Kimball, W Leslie, F Merrill, E Merrill, W. Savage, O Shie, A Smith, C. Wilbur. Labor Wide as the Earth has its Summit in Heaven.
Did you know that flour floating in the air is deadlier than GUN powder?
The original mill was built in 1874 but destroyed in a flour dust explosion that killed 14 people.
We walked outside the back door of the museum to explore the ruins of other mills along the channel. The channel was created to feed the mills with needed water power.
.
.
The entire visit took about 3 hours. This museum is great for people ages 5 to 85. It would also make a unique date night.
We loved it and highly recommend a visit to Mill City Museum. (I was NOT paid for this endorsement.)
Ticket prices can be found by clicking here. However, I’d recommend purchasing the Minnesota History family pass that will get you into the Mill City Museum, Fort Snelling, the History Center, and more.
Minneapolis has TONS of great options for lunch or dinner after a visit to the museum. We chose Popol Vuh, but Hope Kitchen is another place we’d recommend.
